Frankly speaking, i am really really really a big fans of Indian's food! Please do not ask me about the name of those food, honestly i do not know their name, i jus like eating them! (Even Thaya and Satesh were facing hard time when i was doing labeling for some of the pictures below).

Muruku

Restaurant Labros, Thirasia, Greece

Last two summers ago, we went to Athens and Santorini Island in Greece. It was amazing. Everything, and the weather was 37 degrees celcius. We spent 4 days 3 nights in Santorini island. It's where Mamma Mia was filmed too.

We took a boat cruise/tour around the volcano islands, and Thirasia island for lunch.

My friends & I on the boat. Haha and I just had to close my eyes.

22 @ Bubba Shrimp, The Curve

My another birthday celebration at Bubba Gump Shrimp and Co at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

Hofbräuhaus Lindenbräu, Berlin

Hofbräuhaus Lindenbräu is a Brewery in Berlin in the Sony Center, Berlin, Germany. We randomly walked around and be touristy around Sony Centre that we were attracted to a pub, as the setting was adequately nice and we were pretty hungry at that time. So we settled in Hofbräuhaus Lindenbräu. That was one good decision.

We had in house brew wheat beer, couple of other drinks and desserts.... guess what? They were SO GOOD! The price was reasonable too!

22 @ Robot Sushi, Sunway Pyramid

Birthday Cake for me and Ah Lut

The Outing Kaki(s) organized  a birthday dinner for me and ahlut at Robot Sushi in Sunway Pyramid.

I was wondering why is that “Robot” Sushi?  They make sushi using a robot instead of human?

It is actually a sushi restaurant plus a bar, it has a fancy fancy interior design

Here are some pictures of the beach:

Citrus, Barcelona

On our second night in Barcelona, we went to Citrus for dinner. Citrus is located at Las Ramblas, beside Tapa Tapa restaurant.

Along the streets of La Ramblas, we spotted a famous Tapas restaurant, which was always packed with people.

Here are some pictures of La Sagrada Familia.

Nomination for the Associates Of The Month

I was too lucky to be nominated as the Employee of the Month in Mission Point Resort by Chef David Wandrie!
Of course i was really excited about that, i received a invitation letter from my HR manager, Joanna Kasper to attend a luncheon with all the directors and GM. =D

The luncheon was held at Colonial Room

Chi Peng Chinese Food @ St Ignace, Michigan

Having Chinese Food in the united states consider as a “fine dining” to me! I almost dreamt about malaysian food, chinese food everyday!
In St Ignace, a small town that across the lake, has a unique chinese and thai food restaurant which really attracted me! The reason why i say having chinese food is like having fine dining in the united states is because i will have to pay $10 for the ferry ticket across the Great Lake and another $15 to $20 for the food including tips. But, as long as it could satisfy me, i wouldn’t care! 
To be honest, their food wasn’t the “best” food but they at least has a closer taste to what i been eating for the past 21 years! To whom staying overseas, i am pretty sure you guys are enough with all the sausage, scramble egg, bacon, meat loaf, pork chop and salad… @.@

Egg Drop Soup

work.and T.R.A.V.E.L.!!

Finally, i am done with the “work” part of the Work and Travel USA program! I am now on the train to Washington DC after being a 5d4n New Yorker!

Travelling from St. Ignace (one of the nearest town from my working place Mackinac Island) to NYC wasn’t as easy as i thought. I still remember when i talk to Nicole Kreimer, my manager that i am taking a bus all the way from St Ignace to NYC, she gave me “that kind” of look saying that “ ARE YOU CRAZY? WHATS WRONG WITH U?!”

Hello New York!

Finally, i get to take picture with this BULL!! hahaha

Mackinac Island Breakfast

Talking about breakfast, i am missing nasi lemak, g-cheong-fun and all Malaysian breakfast  BADLY ! =(

Local Breakfast $8.50
